Chapter 378 Shen Ping's Limit
When I woke up, five days had passed.
The excitement in Shen Ping's eyes had long faded, but at this moment he was filled with shock. You have to know that he is a Mahayana cultivator, and the spiritual energy in his sea of consciousness is extremely vast. If all of it is released, it can cover half of Gray Stone City, and his spiritual consciousness can easily cover Gray Stone City. However, when he came into contact with that kind of obscure fluctuation, he actually fainted like an ordinary person. It was simply incredible.
"What on earth is that fluctuation..."
He knew that he seemed to have touched upon a mysterious realm, and that it had a close relationship with the beast spirits.
Suppress the thoughts in your mind.
His spiritual consciousness penetrated his body again and he took ten beast blood essences. Except for the meridian that seemed to appear and disappear in his body, there were no major changes in other aspects. However, he had already comprehended 40% of the beast blood level.
"That weapon spirit senior said that a true beast spirit master is extremely powerful, and has a qualitative leap over a beast spirit genius. This change should not be reflected in the physical cultivation."
While thinking.
He entered the World Pearl and stood on a deserted island. A blade as thin as a cicada's wing gradually emerged in his palm. As his spiritual consciousness and magic power activated the silk blade inside, the blade suddenly trembled, and then shattered into tens of thousands of tiny silk blades, and in an instant condensed into a huge lightning blade.
Slash forward in front of him.
A huge space crack suddenly appeared before my eyes.
This surprised Shen Ping. He had previously activated the power of the third form of the Silk Blade in the World Pearl, but he could only cut out traces of space. But now the power had increased so much.
Think about it.
Shen Ping left the World Pearl and teleported directly to the mountains far away from Graystone City, and then continued to activate the Silk Blade. The space of the Dark Abyss was much more stable than the World Pearl. Normally, the power of the third form could not even leave any traces in space, and one could only vaguely feel the vibration of space. But now, when it was activated again, a purple-colored blade mark appeared in the space within the range of the huge lightning blade.
Replace it with the top-level Beast Spirit Hunyuan Gun.
He casually infused the magical power of the strange beast and stabbed it forward.
The space at the tip of the gun shattered as if a glass plate, and spider-like spatial cracks appeared.
“Blood!”
The magic power of the strange beast in the body surged out, and the silver-white Hunyuan Spear glowed blood-red all over. Then Shen Ping slashed forward with force, and the blood-red spear tip seemed to melt cloth, splitting the space in front of him into a long crack.
It can tear space apart, something that even a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal cannot do with his full strength.
Obviously, the power of the blood light has exceeded that of a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal, and this is when he uses the magic power of his Mahayana cultivation to drive it. If it is in an enhanced state, and coupled with the use of the secret technique of the strange beast to transform into a spirit, with multiple amplification methods, the power will be even stronger.
"It seems that after becoming a beast spirit, the power of the beast spirit treasure has increased dozens of times compared to before... But the magic power and consciousness of the beasts are obviously the same, why can they suddenly increase so much?"
He started thinking and soon thought of the meridian in his body and the mysterious fluctuations. This was the only difference between the beast spirits. There should be some connection between the two.
"Go on, see how many I can take!"
Shen Ping knew that under his gifted state as a strange beast, ten was definitely not his limit.
Return to the quiet room in the City Lord's Mansion.
He took the beast blood essence again.
The eleventh, the twelfth... the nineteenth! Every time he took a pill of beast blood essence, the meridian in his body became more solid, and at the same time, the pressure on his spiritual sea of consciousness would increase, but it was still within Shen Ping's tolerance range.
"The twentieth one!"
Dazzling blood-red crystals were reflected in his eyes.
He took a deep breath.
Boom! After taking it.
The blood of the strange beast in the body boiled instantly, and his consciousness was directly pulled into the ancient battlefield. In front of him was a huge monster that seemed to be lying between heaven and earth. It had never been so clear at that moment, especially the pressure of the breath that rushed towards him, which made his breathing stagnate.
Originally had the talent of a strange beast.
Shen Ping had a sense of familiarity, but even though he still felt familiarity now, that vast and majestic aura still made it difficult for him to adapt. Fortunately, this state lasted for a short time, and he gritted his teeth and forced himself to keep his consciousness from collapsing.
Get through this period.
The essence of the twentieth beast blood completely merged into his body, and a large amount of information and insights spread in his sea of consciousness... and while he was comprehending and digesting this information and insights, the meridian in his body became faintly visible like a giant dragon's spine.
Half a year later.
He opened his eyes, excitement flickering in his pupils.
The twentieth beast blood essence allowed him to improve his knowledge of the beast blood in the Beast Sutra to 70%. With another 30%, he would be able to fully comprehend the entire beast blood.
It took Shen Ping hundreds of years to comprehend the levels of beast bones, but now with the essence of beast blood, it took him less than thirty years to comprehend 70% of the beast blood. This speed was unimaginable before.
"Jiehai Peak is really a magical place!"
Sigh.
His spiritual consciousness penetrated his body and came to the mysterious meridians. As he came into contact with the lines contained in the meridians, the familiar obscure fluctuations came again. Although the sensation was clearer this time, he still did not touch that kind of fluctuation.
However, this time he withdrew his spiritual consciousness the moment he felt mentally exhausted.
“Well, this is…”
Soon he discovered that layers of strange scales had appeared on his body. The scales were very thin, and the patterns on them were almost the same as the scales of strange beasts, but they were indeed translucent, as if they were pure energy condensed.
"Could this be the scale-armor level? Can twenty beast blood essences directly allow my body to reach the scale-armor level?"
Curiosity and doubt flashed in Shen Ping's eyes. He took out the silk blade and gently scratched the translucent scales. The high-level silk blade that could easily dissolve a cultivator's Void Refinement and Fusion Stage did not leave even a trace.
So he infused some magic power and made another strike, but still did not leave any mark. He then switched to the Hunyuan Spear and stabbed it hard, which barely left a mark on the transparent scales.
"This defense is too amazing, it's comparable to the high-level beast spirit treasures such as palace armor!"
Several hours passed.
After continuous experiments, he finally had a clearer understanding of the changes that occurred to himself after taking twenty beast blood essences.
The translucent scales, or it can be called strange beast armor, do have extremely strong defensive capabilities, but it is related to the beast blood essence in the body. When it comes into contact with the meridians, it will directly manifest, but it can only last for a cup of tea, and it has obvious damage to the meridians formed by a large amount of beast blood essence.
In addition, when in the scale armor state, the power of his beast spirit treasure will increase again, by about 10%, which is better than nothing.
And in general.
After becoming a beast spirit, the main difference between taking ten pills and taking twenty pills is the solidification of the mysterious meridians, the perception of strange fluctuations, and the translucent scales. As for the overall strength improvement, it is not that great.
Finished.
Shen Ping continued to take the beast blood essence, but this time, after taking the twenty-first pill, the huge pressure from the beast's roar made him faint, and the beast blood essence in his body dissipated instantly. It was obvious that twenty pills was the limit he could endure now.
"It seems that the difficulty will increase by one for every ten beast blood essences!"
To this.
He was not disappointed. After all, it was a pleasant surprise that he could take twenty pills at once with the help of the talent of the strange beast. He also had a hunch that the mysterious fluctuation was definitely not simple. As long as he kept sensing it, he believed that he would be able to feel the fluctuation.
A few days later.
After calming down and adjusting himself, Shen Ping walked out of the meditation room. Although he wanted to continue his retreat, he had to deal with the reality. Moreover, practice requires a balance between relaxation and intensity. This time, his improvement as a beast spirit master was very great, especially his comprehension of the beast scriptures was a leap forward, which really needed time to settle.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Walk out of the bedroom courtyard.
Walking slowly along the spacious road, he was in a particularly good mood. The sudden increase in strength brought him a strong sense of self-confidence. If it were before, facing the powerful targeting of the demon clan, the spirit clan and other clans, even if he had many means to save his life, he would inevitably feel a little worried in his heart. But now it is completely different.
Colorful flowers are blooming on both sides of the road, and the scent of flowers fills the air. Looking up, the sky shrouded by the formation is clean and bright, and the air is filled with pure fairy spirits. Just one sniff will make people feel refreshed.
It has been many years since Shen Ping took such a leisurely walk. Even if he had the leisure time, he would not have the same mentality as he has now.
Just like that, he came to the corridor in front of the pavilion by the lake with a smile on his face.
The vast lake is as calm as a mirror, with only a slight ripple caused by the occasional breeze.
There was no one in the pavilion.
The wives, concubines and companions are now handling the affairs of various cities. In a wartime state, a core person with sufficient say is needed to handle decision-making.
The children are also in Zhenbao Pavilion in various places.
After walking to the pavilion and sitting down for not long, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was the fairy Luo Xia, Yue Lingluo.
Just as she was about to speak, she noticed the satisfaction in Shen Ping's eyes, so she smiled, took out the spiritual tea and made a cup for Shen Ping, and said softly: "It seems that my husband has gained a lot from this retreat."
Shen Ping stretched out his hand and held Yue Lingluo's slender waist. "It is not small. After practicing for so long, I finally have enough strength to protect myself in this dark abyss."
No matter how strong he was in the past, there were always people stronger than him in the entire Dark Abyss. However, after becoming a beast spirit master, with the addition of top-level beast spirit treasures and many means, he can now fight even against true immortals. The Dark Abyss also has constraints and suppression, making it difficult for the strong immortals to unleash their true strength. Therefore, he was confident in saying this.
No matter whether it is the spirit race, the demon race, or the powerful immortals like Taihua Sect, he does not need to be afraid of anything anymore. Of course, the most important thing is through the beast spirits. He knows that the future of this path is limitless.
"Congratulations to my husband on his great improvement!"
Yue Lingluo's eyes lit up and he quickly congratulated him.
Shen Ping took a sip of the spiritual tea, savored its flavor, and then asked about the recent situation in the Dark Abyss.
Yue Lingluo then said solemnly: "The demon clan, spirit clan and other alliance teams are coming fiercely, and there are also attacks from the real demons and ancient demons of the demon clan. Now one-third of the cities under the jurisdiction of my Zhenbao Pavilion have been destroyed, and 36 of them have been completely destroyed. A large number of cultivators have died, and the situation in Penglai Immortal City is not optimistic either."
"However, the ten core cities are currently protected by immortal formations, so they have not been affected. In fact, these have no impact. What I am worried about is the real demons and ancient demons of the demon clan that have infiltrated through the space cracks. Their methods are hard to defend against. If they infiltrate Graystone City, some accidents are inevitable."
Shen Ping nodded. The real demons and ancient demons were very powerful. Even with the suppression of the rules of the Dark Abyss, they were not something that a casual immortal could deal with. Especially some demons were good at controlling and charming people's hearts. Unless the City Lord's Mansion had no contact with the outside world, it would be very likely to be infiltrated by them.
He is not afraid, but it would be terrible if anything happened to his wife, concubines, companions, and children.
"I have already implemented strict control in the mansion. Anyone who leaves the mansion will be monitored..."
Yue Lingluo then said, "By the way, the Grand Elder of Taihua Sect in Penglai Immortal City and the Red Lotus Immortal live in Huishi City. They have come to visit us several times. Do you want to meet them?"
"Okay, let's meet."
"In the current situation, Taihua Sect really needs to contribute."
Shen Ping said casually.
The next morning.
He met Hongling Sanxian again in the room next to the main hall. Her demeanor remained the same and her temperament was even more unique, but compared to before, there was less arrogance in her eyes, and it was obvious that she knew Shen Ping's identity.
Next to him was a skinny old man who seemed to be in his twilight years. Although there was no breath from his body, the sense of mental oppression could be clearly felt.
"This junior has met two senior Sanxians."
Shen Ping saluted.
The old man smiled and said, "Master Shen, there is no need to be so polite. It is the two of us who have come here presumptuously and disturbed Master Shen's meditation."
We exchanged a few simple greetings.
The three of them sat down.
The skinny old man first introduced himself, "I am Hua Yun, the Grand Elder of Taihua Sect, and I am a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal. This is Elder Hong Ling of the sect, whom you already know. I came here mainly to resolve some unpleasantness with Pavilion Master Shen."
The Grand Elder Hua Yun was very straightforward. "Whether it was the matter of the Demon Sect or Hong Ling's targeting of your master, it was all the fault of our Taihua Sect. I hope Pavilion Master Shen can forgive us for the sake of the human race. No matter how we make amends, our Taihua Sect is willing to do so."
The attitude is sincere.
But Shen Ping shook his head and said, "Senior Hua, if you are here for this, you two should go back. Let's not talk about my master's matter for now. As for the collusion with the Demon Sect, please forgive me for being unable to tolerate it."
Hua Yun didn't say anything, but Hong Ling couldn't help but said, "Master Shen, that's not the case. The scattered immortals are in great need of the resources of the demon race. If you reach that level, you will naturally do the same. Cultivation is cruel. Master Shen has cultivated to this level, and I believe he has done some things that are difficult to show to others."
Shen Ping said calmly: "Although cultivation is cruel and the strong prey on the weak, but for the sake of resources, disregarding the bottom line of the human race is not the way of cultivation for our generation."
Seeing that Elder Hong Ling was about to say something, Hua Yun interrupted with a smile, "There is no need to dwell on this matter. Since Pavilion Master Shen doesn't like it, our Taihua Sect will naturally change it in the future. However, the human race in the western area of the Great Dark Abyss is in danger now, Pavilion Master Shen will not ignore it, right?"
